do you think that president obama should have scaled this back? >> he did scale it back quite a bit. i believe there were nine or ten inaugural balls in 2009 and this time there are only two. he has made an effort to scale it back. obviously some critics would say why are we having any of these expensive events that are celebrating when we really ought to be getting to work. but the flip side of this is there are many businesses that depend on a budget for this and this is a big event for them and they have caterers and planners and this creates jobs for a lot of people. there is a balance here and i think that's probably what the president has in mind. at least keeping two of these going. and people who work hard on the campaign obviously want to celebrate and look forward to the next four years with president obama. >> very good point. we'll talk to you in our 6:00 hour. thanks so much. >> we'll have extensive coverage of today's inauguration both on air and online here on nbc bay area. we're streaming live video from the nation's capital and ph
